I'm sorry to hear of your loss, this is a very difficult time for you family and no doubt God's word brings us comfort from 1 Corinthians 15:28 promising us to see our loved ones again when our enemy death is brought to nothing. May these words bring you comfort in the days to come.

Drew, I was so sorry to hear about your dad. He was always one of my favorite people when we would get together with the families growing up. I loved his sense of humor. My parents, Rowena & Jim, were going to try to make it to the funeral home, but with the weather they were afraid of slipping, after all they are 88 and 85. I will not be able to make it either but I wanted to take a few minutes to send my condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Charlie Gardner (Chick)

Well Mr. Hink. A.k.a. my other dad..., it’s the end of an era. I have so many good memories of you, laughing, joking, those sideway looks, the gruffness… But underneath it all, you were a sweetheart. I will miss writing you my annual Christmas cards and hearing your voice on the phone. You have blessed my life with your presence in it and I know you will entertain your family in heaven. You will be missed as well as all of your family and you’ll always be in my heart. Love You, Bean
